Need Help: Navigon 6.2 on XDA orbit

[SurfaceCleanerZ]

Hi,

can anyone tell me, how to get Navigon 6 on the Orbit (WM6) to find the internal GPS? Navigon works, but won't find the GPS signal and so it's useless...

TT works out of the box after upgrade.

Or do I need a port splitter as for GPSTuner?

Under WM5 I had the same problem...

regards,
Stefan

... find the internal GPS?

Did you try the internal com 4?

I think the gps is set to com 4 by default...

Hello, i tried it and MN6 found´s the GPS. But do not spend mor time in this problem. The Artemis is to slow für MN6. I´ve overclocked to 260Mhz and it to slow too for a normal navigation. iGo 2006 or TomTom works better on the device!

I also find iGo too slow also... TomTom is much quicker.

[SurfaceCleanerZ]

But TT has no features, no speed display, bad menu, no pois...
Its really a big problem for me, I come from an WM2k3 400MHz PPC which is fast enough for Navigon

huh?

TT HAS POI's, Speed display, and the fastest menu... the only thing it doesnt have is TMC which I like about Navogin. (very slow with me also)

[SurfaceCleanerZ]

How do I activate the display of speed limits for the road I'm currently on?
I know that there are some pois on the TT homepage to load, I didn't try them, yet. I needed them a few weeks ago, when I needed a bank and realized that o2 didn't deliver it...

How do I activate the display of my actual speed?

Is Navigon TMC with headset connected working for you?

Navigon 6.2 works for me, I think. But I didn't navigate with it, yet.

Stefan

Du musst mal in den ganzen Einstellungsdialogen gucken. Wo genau weiß ich jetzt auch nicht mehr, aber es ist definitiv möglich, dass die aktuelle Geschwindigkeit angezeigt wird - bei mir hab ich das auch aktiviert.

Kostenloses POIs bekommst du z.B. hier: http://checkpoint.oabsoftware.nl/ Musst dich da nur anmelden. Du kannst die POIs von dort herunterladen und dann direkt in den Kartenordner von TomTom kopieren oder du verwendest deren Software, die mit der du dann direkt von deinem Gerät aus die POIs herunterlädst und individuell einstellen kannst (z.B. ab wievielen Metern er dich mit welchem Sound vor einem Blitzer warnen soll)

[SurfaceCleanerZ]

aber skinnen wie mn5 kann man TT nicht, oder?

Ich fand die Anzeige der Geschwindigkeitszonen bei MN5 echt nützlich. Und auch so Dinge wie auf den Bildschirm clicken und dort direkt Tonaus und Nachtmodus zu haben war sinnvoll.

Naja werde es noch mal testen und gucken, ob ich die Einstellung finde.

Danke für die Tips!

...you probably have to buy it and it will work...;-)) for sure!

[SurfaceCleanerZ]

What do you want to tell me? TT6 is included in the o2 Orbit package (but without any POI)!
And Navigon is just a test version from the Navigon page!

You can activate the speed display by going into the menu and clicking "Change Preferences". Then scroll the page across 3 times and tap "status bar preferences" and select "speed" (and any of the others if you like), click done and accept the disclaimer. Speed should now be showing like a fraction, where the number on the left is your actual speed and the number on the right is the speed limit of the road you are currently travelling on.

As for POIs, I have uploaded my collection for you to download, although seeing as you are German, they may be of no use to you as they are for the UK map. However, they are here for anybody else to download if they are any use to anybody. I have compressed the file into *.rar format. Compressed, it is 1.3MB, uncompressed folder size is 2.5MB. Surprisingly small as there are around 275 POI categories. However, TomTom can only have so many enabled at one time so I leave them as they are in the folder on my storage card and copy them over to the folder containing my uk map if and when I require them. Doesn't take a sec and they're worth having in reserve. You never know when you might wanna find a strip bar (...for example!)

Here is the link...

AND JUST FOR CONVENIENCE HERE IT IS AGAIN ROUGHLY TRANSLATED INTO IN GERMAN...

Du kannst die Geschwindigkeit Anzeige aktivieren, indem Sie in das Menü und klickenden „in die änderung Präferenzen“ einsteigen. Dann scroll die Seite über 3mal und „Statusstabpräferenzen“ klopfen und „Geschwindigkeit“ vorwählen (und irgendwelche von den anderen, wenn du magst), getan klicken und den Verzicht annehmen. Geschwindigkeit sollte wie ein Bruch jetzt darstellen, in dem die Zahl auf dem links deine tatsächliche Geschwindigkeit ist und die Zahl auf dem Recht die Höchstgeschwindigkeit auf die Straße ist, die du z.Z. an reist.

Was POIs anbetrifft, ich habe gehochladen meine Ansammlung, damit du downloadest, obgleich sehend, da du deutsch bist, sie zu dir unbrauchbar sein können, während sie für das BRITISCHE Diagramm sind. Jedoch sind sie hier für zu downloaden jedes, sonst, wenn sie irgendein Gebrauch zu jedem sind. Ich habe die Akte in *.rar Format zusammengedrückt. Komprimiert, ist es 1.3MB, uncompressed Heftgröße ist 2.5MB. Überraschend klein als gibt es herum 275 POI Kategorien. Jedoch kann TomTom nur haben, also ermöglichten viele auf einmal, also lasse ich sie, während sie im Heft auf meiner Speicherkarte und sie zum Heft rüber zu kopieren sind, das mein britisches Diagramm wenn enthält und wenn ich sie benötige. Dauert nicht eine sek und sie sind wert, in der Reserve zu haben. Du weißt nie, als du einen Streifenstab finden wünschen konntest (… zum Beispiel!)

Ist hier die Verbindung…

Hi,
Thank you for your answer! Englisch is ok, your translation is really funny ;-)

I'll have a look at it!

But no time for testing in the next days!

Stefan

[matmaneyre]

Not my translation, Google's Translation! I translated back from it's own translation of German back to English and it came back completely different! :D Nevermind. You get the idea. Hope it helps.

Can i use the headset as a TMC Device? Does anyone have this working (TMC -Navigon)?
I installed Navigon today, Really awesome, i like it lots better than TOM Tom.
And the speed of Version 6,2 is the same as the TT software i thinks. It is at least my opinion.
I have all POI's active and it is fast for me, and i do not have my HTC p3300 Overclocked. (Running Fracoons ROM, Thanks again Mark)

I would like to use the TMC function as well.
Can someone help me out here?

Thanks
Tim

Hello,
MN6 works good, but loading it, lasts 4 times as long as loading TT, I think. Navigation is quick enough, no problems during 650km, I used it yet.

Adaptors for using the car loader and the headset as antenna for radio are available at ebay in china.

Is there anybody with the newest radio fw., who can test it? For the test, running on battery is possible, the adaptor is only for daily use and the comfort of loading while driving...

Stefan

Right. I've got Navigon 5 and I was informed by Navigon that their V6 software needed a 500mhz PPC, which is why on my Hermes/Tytn I've stuck to v5 and not upgraded.

I'm not sure if it's changed for v6 over v5 but if you go into the settings and activate the "Info Bar" then that shows your speed.

As for POIs you can either load them in manually from whereever you download them but you might find it better to get POI Handler, get a years subscription to the POIs and get them that way. An extra £20 I beleive.

I tried it for a year and actually reverted back as I felt it slowed the PDA down and to be honest, being a Professional Driver for a living it was in my interest to notice things like speed cameras with my own eyes without the use of satnav, but it does mean I stick to more speed limits :D

One thing I would like to know from Navigon is if I can get updated maps for v5 as I'm not going to upgrade to 6 but want newer maps. Seems silly that they dont keep the software the same but just update the data :(

Ahh, good luck ;)

As for TMC, sorry, never tried it.

You might want to try such software as GPSDash 2 as well, it gives a lot of information there for when you're driving and you don't need satnav ;)

I take it you've found your internal GPS com port? If you havent then just get the software to scan...

Cheers, Elwyn

And yes, I prefer it to TomTom too. I had mine set to "Truck" last night and it took us a decent truck route. The "Car" took us down some narrow backroads that were a wee bit tight :eek: :eek: So we stayed on Truck and stayed sane ;)

Do you know how embarassing it is to jam a lorry in a lane :(

I had a play around the other week.

I've always used Tomtom, so I tried some others... iGo was too fiddly, as was Copilot. Navigon worked, but took absolutely ages to start up - it was Ok, but nothing special. Route66 is interesting, and in my opinion really quite good - it has free live traffic, a really nice speed camera implementation, but does not let you manually edit your route, so I'm back with TomTom!

[Elwyn M3100]

...Navigon worked, but took absolutely ages to start up - it was Ok, but nothing special...

Yeah, I've found that in the past. Just do a soft reset. Something to do with files in use or something. It has it's good days and bad days. Yesterday I opened and closed the software properly all night and it was only towards the latter half of the run, 7 hours into the shift that it locked up. Soft reset. Swear at it, and then take a tacho break :D :D

For the most part it's been pretty reliable, but I always carry maps as backup as I still don't trust the routings on whatever satnav.

Although apparently TT don't have a "truck" option, which yesterday brought a few people to enquire about it and the software. :D :cool:

I found that each satnav app has something misisng - Route66 is a good all-rounder - if you're approaching a speed camera, it keeps beeping at you until you're below the speed limit, which is damned clever... it also gets traffic updates live, and you can set your type of vehicle, average speeds etc. However, entering routes is nigglt, and there's no way of viewing/amending/avoiding part of the route.

TomTom is by far the simplest to use when driving, and is the only one to work with one finger. It does lack the ability to set your average speeds etc, and traffic updates are chargeable... however, the time to destination estimates tend to be fairly accurate for me, and I'm a pretty fast motorway driver ;-)

You should try gofast with Navigon 6 then it starts very fast! I'm just missing the skinning features of old MN5 with Min4Inis. The MN6 night skin is not very eye friendly...
